Jim Clifton on How Mentors and Students Can Help America Win the GDP Race

Who will be the leader of the free world in 30 years? Straightforward answer: Whoever has the biggest GDP.

Let’s look at the math. The world’s GDP is currently more than $60 trillion. Over the next 30 years, that number is expected to grow to a whopping $200 trillion. And China is supposed to grow at a faster rate than the U.S. over these next three decades. So, whoever gets the most of the $140 trillion wins. It’s really that simple. And while America currently leads the global GDP race, China is the prohibitive favorite for these next 30 years.
